American Psychological Association (APA) Citation Style is a widely used, overall user-friendly method for attributing credit to authors and source material. There is much material circulating on the Internet on using this style. Your UTM Library recommends a few that are commonly quite helpful:
UTM Library's APA Citation (7th Edition) Quick Guide: an easy-to-use, ready reference for citing a variety of materials, including: books, book chapters, journal articles, newspaper articles, webpages, films and much more. Please note the final reference points about direct parenthetical/bibliographic citation, quotation and paraphrasing.
Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) APA Style Introduction: a frequently-used resource by a trusted institution. This guide gives much information on the reasons for using APA Style to get you comfortable with the process. For more immediate answers, go to the APA Style and Formatting Guide on the same page. This offers not only information on attributing to authors/sources, but also examples of different types of papers that use this style (e.g. Literature Reviews, Lab Reports). Be sure to consult your professor for their preferred format!
